I’m going to assume that you posted this in all seriousness and good faith. So you want to do something about the disrespectful attitude of the writer (who seems to be responsible for a large part of the content at this “paper?”)

Well, the paper is a free ad rag, so you can’t unsubscribe.

But here’s what you can do. You get together with all your like-minded neighbors and friends. The bunch of you write letters - not form letters, mind you - to all the folks who paid to advertise in the ad rag.

Tell them that as long as they support the kind of disrespectful “journalism” this poor excuse for a writer is putting out, that you’ll have no use for anything they are selling.

And then you stick to your guns and only do business with the folks who care enough about your community to not put up with this crap.

Get back to us in a month and let us know how it worked out for you.

In small town America your idea has real merit. I believe this rag could be put out of business and the snit who wrote the article be given a very hard time by ‘silence’ being applied and a lot of service providers might be convinced, especially if they are vets or served in the USMC, that her business of any kind is not wanted. This person merits getting the ‘treatment’ where no wait person will serve them in any restaurant in town, no mechanic, plumber, carpenter, or lawn service provider will take their business and most townsmen refuse to speak to or acknowledge the existence of this person. A few months of the ‘silence’ will run this liberal snip out of town.

Congratulations, daxjaxter. You have made a friend of my friend, Shibumi.

Follow his advice, and you will do well here.
